What’s in the Eye and Face Protection Training Course?
Our Eye & Face Protection training course is regulation-compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on common hazards, safe operations, appropriate PPE and more.
During this training, we will be taking a look at potential hazards on the job site that can affect your eyes and face. We will also discuss safe operations that will protect your eyes and face from serious harm, including PPE. Lastly, we will present a few case studies to illustrate what can happen when basic safety practices are ignored.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by OSHA.

Why do I need training?
In line with federal regulations, anyone who working in the general or construction industries must receive training prior to working near hazards that can damage their eyes or face.
When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
